The following 4 flags are all alts of autilink.

Since this somehow doesnt exist, I decided to go ahead and coin it! Also, to note that I am autistic myself, with an official diagnosis.

Autismlink, or autilink, is an otherlink identity in which you voluntarily identifies as partially or fully non-human.

Autilink means that your non-human identity ties directly to your autism, or that it heavily influences it.

Autismlink is exclusive to those with autism, as it directly stem from said disability.

Edit/Note: This is NOT a transID label. This is not about identifying as autistic, but for people who already have autism.

Feel free to make your own version for other Neurodivergences if you think it fits!

Reminder: OtherLINK is a choice, unlike OtherKIN and therianthropy, which are NOT choices.

Flag meanings and Extra definitions and a personal example below the cut:

Meanings: The colors are taken directly from the autism pride flag. The infinity symbol was used to replace the two overlapped circles of the original otherlink flag. The demi circles on the top and bottom stripes are honestly just there because it looks nice.

Otherlink: A voluntarily identity as a non-human being of any kind. Could be an animal, mythical being, fictional character, plant, concept or more.

EXAMPLE: I am an alienlink, meaning that i identify as an alien. This is due to the fact I am autistic, and therefore alienated by society. I have grown up feeling like I didn't belong, like an alien lost on a planet with a specie they knew nothing about.

Autilink helps me put this identity into words. I did not choose to feel alienated, but i *did* choose to embrace it and identify as alienlink.
